Launching The Art of Hosting: 10 interviews with hosts from all over the world, in partnership with
@LumaHQ
Now that the internet is building itself with AI, the skills valued in the workplace are shifting, just as our desire for human connection is growing. Great hosts, people who can foster trust, friendship, learning, and creative collaboration, will become some of the most sought-after professionals.
Part of the reason we don't value hosting more today is that we haven't done a very good job of understanding the craft. When an event works, we tend to call it vibes. We notice the outcome, but not the decisions that produced it.
That's why we made The Art of Hosting. We wanted to make the backstage visible: the thinking, judgment, preparation, and craftsmanship that go into creating a room where people connect.
I spent the last few months interviewing some of my favorite hosts for Luma on how they think about curating a guest list, designing a space, creating intimacy between strangers, scaling a community, and building gatherings people want to return to.
Hosting is a love language. But it is also a craft, a technology, and increasingly, a very important job.
